Discursive Architecture: Tactics for Critical Intervention in the Work of Bavo - Paperback

by Gideon Boie (Author)

Boie's theoretical, philosophical approach to architectural criticism offers new solutions for sociopolitical interventions

Rebuking inefficient forms of architectural criticism, Gideon Boie proposes to rethink the discipline through a counterstrategy in which artists "overidentify" with current trends. He illustrates this argument with examples from BAVO, his research collective, and its interventions tackling regional development, public space and humane healthcare.
